Mariupol (UAMPW)

The port of Mariupol consists of the outer and inner roads and approach channels. The inner roads include the Grain Harbour, Coal Harbour and Western Harbour. According to their speciality, port berths can handle bulk (coal, ores, grain) general (steel products, equipment, etc), containerised, perishable, sunflower seed oil and other cargoes. Depths at the port berths are up to 9.75m. Azovstal harbour is located 3.5nm to the NE and was reportedly closed.

Summer Zone for vessels over 100m in length and Winter Seasonal Area for vessels of 100m or less in length, Winter Dec 1 to Feb 28/29, Summer Mar 1 to Nov 30.

A Sea of Azov port, Mariupol is situated 14nm N of the entrance into the Taganrog Gulf, at the western end and at the mouth of the Kalmius River. Azovstal Port lies 3.0nm to the NE.

Max LOA 200m, beam 27.23m, 37,372DWT.

Approx 6,870,000t of cargo (including approx 536,000t of coal and 200,000t of grain) handled annually.

The outer roads afford good anchorage in the following three areas: Area No 458, max permissible draught 5.0m: ..... 1. 46°57.94'N 037°29.22'E 2. 46°59.78'N 037°23.80'E 3. 46°59.82'N 037°33.50'E 4. 46°58.43'N 037°34.50'E Area No 457, for vessels with draught greater than 5.0m: ..... 1. 46°54.18'N 037°28.05'E 2. 46°57.73'N 037°29.18'E 3. 46°57.60'N 037°31.55'E 4. 46°54.18'N 037°30.50'E The area, enclosed by the outer edges of the Southern and Eastern moles together with the line connecting the breakwater and the Southern Mole extremity, is used for temporary anchorage of small vessels. Azovstal Port: When waiting for entering the port, vessels may stay in the outer road at Anchorage 458 (see above) or an area to the East of Mariupol Port assigned to vessels with a maximum draught of 3.5m.

For the latest controlling depths, vessels should consult the local harbour and pilotage authorities. Mariupol harbour is approached by a buoyed channel that has been dredged through the coastal bank. A vessel is regarded as arrived at Mariupol after dropping anchor at the outer roads anchorage or passed Buoys No 1 and 2 (46°53.1'N 037°27.1'E). Buoys No 1 and 2 are situated at the entrance to the Mariupol Approach Channel. The channel is 9.4nm in length, 100m in width and has an average depth of 8.6m. This leads to the Coal Harbour and further on to the port piers and to the Azov Ship Repairing Yard.Least depths of dredged approach channels is 8.2m for Vuhilna Harbour and 3.7m for the port of Azovstal. Azovstal: If open, only vessels maximum 4.5m. draught and up to 200m length are allowed into the port area. Larger vessels may be allowed, following consultation with the Harbour Master. A buoyed channel, approximately 3.0nm long, leads NE from Muriupol (course 044°).

The quay to which a vessel is to berth must be 30m longer than the vessel's LOA. Berthing and unberthing is not permitted if the wind speed exceeds 27kts. General berthing information: During a stay in the outer roads a vessel should monitor VHF Ch 16 or 14. The Master is informed of berthing at least one hour prior to the embarkation of the pilot.

Pilotage is compulsory for all foreign vessels and is available throughout 24 hours. Port pilots embark and disembark in the vicinity of No.1 Buoy (46° 53.8'N 037°27.5'E) or in the anchorage areas. Orders for pilotage should be submitted 4 hours in advance on approach to the port. Before leaving Mariupol port pilotage must be order a minimum of 2 hours in advanced. During ice conditions, when a vessel is being escorted, the pilot boards at the harbour entrance. If the wind speeds 27kts, vessels should anchor and await better weather. It has been reported that the sea pilot embarked at Kerch Strait may also carry out the duties of port pilot.

The port complex consists of the outer roads (anchorages), inner roads (forming the Grain Harbour, Coal Harbour and Western Harbour) and approach channel. The inner road is bounded by the East Pier, North Mole, South Mole, Eastern Mole, Dike Dam and West Mole.

Vessels can enter and leave the port at any time, day or night. The max speed in the approach channel is 8kts and in the part protected by a wooden dam the max speed is 3kts. The speed of a vessel may be increased in case of necessity in order to keep the vessel on course along the leading line or to prevent drifting out of the channel due to current and wind effects. Traffic: Two way traffic in the approach channel is permitted, except with wind speeds above 28kts, visibility less than 2nm. The VTS will then declare one way traffic only for passing tankers and vessels over 150m. One way navigation may be introduced in the Mariupol approach channel in instances of strong winds or vessels having a draught greater than 5.0m. Ice: Ice breaker assistance is necessary during the winter months. All vessels entering or leaving the port should have an under keel clearance of not less than 0.2m. Vessels with a draught of 7.5m or more, proceeding in the approach channel are considered to be restricted by draught and shall exhibit the signals as specified by Rule 28 of IRPCS-72.

The water level is subject to variations caused mainly by the winds, which are more pronounced in autumn.

A Vessel Traffic Management Scheme (VTMS) is operated at the port and in its approaches. Upon approaching the port the Master is to report to Mariupol pilot station, calling "Radio-5" on VHF Ch 14. The operational area covers the NE part of the Sea of Azov, including the approaches to the port of Mariupol', Azov Ship Yard, Azovstal, and Mariupol' fishing port. The coverage are of Mariupol' Traffic Control extends 12nm from the shore based radar station RASKAT (47°02.1'N 037°28.6'E), but excludes the coverage area of Mariupol Radio 5 (4-5nm from Mariupol' including anchorages 457 and 458). Description: The VTS area provides the following services: ..... 1. Sailing and weather conditions. 2. Changes to navigation aids. 3. Navigational conditions and factors affecting navigation. 4. Warnings and advice on proximity of other vessels. 5. Warnings if deviation is made from shipping routes. VTS also carry out: ..... 1. Automatic surveillance and tracking of vessels arriving and transiting the Mariupol area 2. Automatic determination of arrival time at the appropriate port. 3. Automatic continuous tracking and monitoring of position, course and speed for all vessels in the VTS area. Further information will always be given, on request. Procedure: ..... 1. Participation in the VTS is mandatory for all vessels. 2. Reporting: Vessels should send an initial report to the VTS via agent 24 hours before arrival, stating the following information: a) Vessels name (including any previous names) flag, port of registry and ETA b) DWT, GT, NT, LOA, BOA, moulded depth and draught on arrival (forward and aft) c) Type of cargo (including presence or otherwise of dangerous cargo onboard) d) Any deficiencies or restrictions 3. Vessels should establish contact with mariupol' Traffic Control on VHF Channels 14 or 67, 1 hour before entering the VTS area, stating the following information: a) Vessels name (including any previous names) b) Type of vessel and condition (loaded or otherwise) c) Name of agent and owner d) IMO No and MMSI e) Flag and port of registry f) DWT, GT and NT g) LOA, BOA and moulded depth h) Draught (forward and aft) i) Last port, destination and ETA at destination port j) Number of passengers (ferries and passenger vessels) k) Dangerous cargo onboard l) State of radar and any defects affecting the safety of navigation m) Other information as requested by the VTS 4. Permission to enter the VTS area should also be obtained at this time. 5. A continuous listening watch should be maintained on VHF Channels 14, 67 and 74 within the VTS area. Vessels should monitor the VHF broadcasts and follow the instructions, recommendations and warnings concerning the safety of navigation, life, property and the environment. Radar Navigation Assistance: Radar navigation assistance is compulsory as follows: ..... 1. For passenger vessels, fuel oil and chemical tankers, vessels carrying dangerous cargo (including tankers with non-decontaminated tanks) in any visibility. 2. When ordered by the Master.

Tugs are available and compulsory when berthing. Vessels of 1,500GT or greater must employ 2 tugs. Tugs should be ordered 40mins before entering the port and 30mins prior to unmooring or shifting. Such orders should be submitted to the Mariupol port's Operator. Azovstal: Tugs should be ordered no later than 40 minutes before entering the port and 30 minutes before sailing.

Prevailing winds: Variable, Winter E'ly, Summer W'ly. Fog is observed an average of 44 days per year. All year round navigation is possible. However, for two or three months this is only with the use of icebreakers. Ice usually begins to form at the end of Nov or the beginning of Dec and three to four weeks later the Gulf becomes completely frozen over. The increase of fast ice usually lasts up to the first part of February. As a rule the ice usually breaks up in the middle of March. It finally disappears at the end of March or, as an exception, in the first half of April.
